Filling the AC void

Filling the AC void

While it may be relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things, we’re excited about the prospect of BMW Oracle Racing and Sir Keith Mills’ TeamOrigin lining up at Cowes Week this year. This is good for still sponsor-less Cowes Week, while the program of match racing will also include a clockwise lap of the Isle of Wight on the original America’s Cup course (can profoundly inshore V5 ACC boats make it round the island?) The 1851 Cup, the new trophy the two boats will race for, is to become a regular fixture. An announcement about the 34th America's Cup is to be made in Rome this Thursday. In the Transat AG2R, over the weekend the dice has been rerolled.
